Cascading boughs of delicate green flowers mark the dogwood. The simple, four-leaf design overwhelms the tiny cluster of flowers in the center. We also have pink dogwood but the green is by far the most common.
Dogwood: Cornus
Only two varieties are native to the Northwest:
Pacific dogwood: grows as a tree; has large, showy "petals" surrounding each flower; branches loop between leaf clusters; fruits are orange to red.
Western dogwood: grows only as a shrub; does not have large, showy petals surrounding each flower; branches are straight; fruits are white (will not be further described here).
